Human perspective is often interesting.
What shall be done to increase the probability of clearing prelims?
Pardon me if i have asked the quest at wrong place and time.
@zombielandthanks for replying and what must me done to improve guess quality?
I graduated in 2017. Took coaching for sociology which ended in 18 since my GS knowledge was negligible so i decided to attempt exam in 19 but due to some trying situation,i was not into preparation till july/19.
When i started preparing in july,i thought of attempting in 2020 but when i picked my optional it seemed that i was studying it for first time(all clarity which i acquired earlier had vanished)
So i changed my plan and decided to attempt in 2021 to give a good fight.(i know the risks involved)
But i completely forgot Baswan committee. Now reading above comments,i am in a dillema whether to attempt exam in 2020 or 2021.
My wish:I have basic knowledge of GS and currently studying optional and still want to attempt in 2021.
Kindly suggest and if anyone has any info regarding pattern change kindly provide me,i won't blame if it turns wrong(i would still be thankful).
@abhiKindly suggest whether i should take a risk and attempt exam in 2021(if i dont clear i would be in trouble but optional will help in pcs) or shall i study day&night in a haphazard way and attempt in 2020(chances of clearing will be bleak)
I plead for help.
@abhishek_pthanks for your suggestion and i hope you have similar rationale behind suggestion as me and i think most people will concur with your suggestion so i request everyone not to suggest as i have decided to go with 2021 attempt and face the heat if pattern changes.
Thank you bro.
Sorry everyone for such long post and trouble.
Just a query,apart from optional removal and age reduction is there any other change that cmtt report will offer?
@vvvikas0078212My GS is not good...moreover no answer writing practice.
Thanks.
@Ithriveoncocainedid it mention "2021" and age limit?
Thanks for reply.
@abhishek_pi know that one can never be fully prepared but i want to achieve a good level.
@K_9bro as mentioned above i have never attempted but i know the rules of game. If i somehow clear pre,i am sure i will falter in mains.I know dropping a year is a big risk as i can falter in 2021 pre itself but i want to take time and build a base.
Thanks for your suggestion.
What do you think can optional be removed in 2021?(just asking,i know anticipating doesn't help)
@zombielandthis is exactly my way of thinking and i would never have thought of attempting in 2020. The only reason i give it a thought is because of the probability of optional removal in 2021.
I completely forgot about baswan report and suddenly when i came across it,i got worried but i have decided that i will not deviate and will go for 21attempt.
Thank you.
@kochikaame@visionman@BulbulSenthank you guys.
Let's close this topic otherwise people will kill me because i have asked at wrong place and moreover result is taking so long.
@everyone thanks for bearing with me.ATB.
@rakz28i made a sort of promise to myself that my first attempt would be my best attempt(at least from my side).I know dropping a year involves lot of risk but on the other side i don't want to get trapped in upsc cycle by giving with quarter prepared attempt.
Thanks for your suggestion.
I would have attempted if my prep was near the level as stated by@visionman
